How user-generated videos on social media brought Trump's immigration crackdown to America's screens
By Jason Abbruzzese, Jacob Soboroff and Colin Sheeley The videos of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids emerged just after President Donald Trump was sworn in to his second term. Chaotic and shaky, they spread across social media from all parts of the United States, depicting the new era of immigration following video collected and verified by NBC News represents a small fraction of the videos that have populated timelines across Tiktok, Instagram, X and beyond.

The Trump administration has stood by its enforcement efforts. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt touched on them on June 30. Immigration has remained among Trump's strongest issues, with an NBC News Decision Desk Poll conducted from late May to early June finding 51% of Americans approving of his handling of border security and immigration. Alice Marwick, the director of research at Data & Society, a technology-focused nonprofit, said the situation has reminded her of the videos of police brutality that changed the national conversation around law enforcement and triggered the Black Lives Matter movement.

Police Scotland accused of 'injuring 63-year-old Palestine activist'
Lindsey Murray was arrested on June 24 amid a protest against complicity with Israeli war crimes at the Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) in Glasgow. The Gaza Genocide Emergency Committee (GGEC) later claimed she had been 'brought unnecessarily to the ground' and 'sustained debilitating injuries' that required hospital treatment. Activists had organised a week-long series of events in the CCA's public space to demonstrate against the board's refusal to adopt a Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) policy or endorse the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI).

A Police Scotland spokesperson said at the time: 'Around 12.55pm on Tuesday, 24 June, 2025, we received a report of a disturbance involving a large group on Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. 'One woman, aged 63, has been arrested in connection.' The GGEC claimed that Murray had been subject to a 'brutal arrest and hospitalisation by Police Scotland officers'. A statement from the group alleged that 'despite being seriously injured, unable to walk, and pleading for medical help', she was placed into a police van before being taken to a station.

Video of the incident on social media shows Murray laying handcuffed, half-in a police van, as she says she cannot get further in. A Police Scotland spokesperson did not address the allegations in the statement. They said only: "A complaint has been received and is being assessed." The Scottish Ambulance Service said it had no record of being involved in treating a person in those circumstances on that date.

Edinburgh Gaza protest planned over RAF spy flights
The protest, organised by the Gaza Genocide Emergency Committee (GGEC) on July 19, was called in response to a joint report published earlier this week by The National and Declassified UK. The investigation revealed how Britain's mainstream media have not carried out a single investigation into the extent, impact or legal status of the more than 500 surveillance flights carried out by the RAF over Gaza since December 2023. READ MORE: UK Government's refusal to help family leave Gaza is 'unlawful', court told Organisers at the GGEC said they planned to call for "an end to the UK military's involvement" and "complicity" in Gaza as well as an immediate ceasefire and an end to Israel's aid blockade. The demonstration will start at the Foot of the Mound in Edinburgh at 1pm on Saturday, July 19. Commenting, Mick Napier, from the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, told The National: "The Israelis are planning the end game – the complete ethnic cleansing of the whole of Palestine. This will not exempt Nablus or Bethlehem, twinned with Dundee and Glasgow. "Israel is escalating its massacres in Gaza – and attacks across the West Bank. Israel is designating Rafah as a concentration zone under the sick label of 'humanitarian corridor'. Napier added that Israel's aid blockade on Gaza, and the dangerous scenes unfolding at the controversial US and Israeli-backed aid distribution sites – where more than 600 Palestinians have been killed while attempting to seek aid – has meant that "children are starving to death, civilians attempting to access food are being ambushed" and "killed in huge numbers". Napier also pointed towards the surveillance flights carried out by aircraft based at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, which the UK Government claims are designed to assist with the discovery of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on October 7, 2023. He said: "The RAF has flown over Gaza at least 518 times during the genocide, providing intelligence to the Israeli military below. "Despite the scale of the atrocity, UK political and institutional leaders remain largely silent. Labour leader Keir Starmer has expressed support for Israel's actions, and Scottish First Minister John Swinney – along with the vast majority of elite UK institutions – has refused to condemn the violence." READ MORE: UK Government's new tech partner attacks 'antisemitic' UN and denies Gaza genocide Napier added that the joint report from The National and Declassified UK had "challenged the mainstream narrative and called attention to UK media complicity-through-silence, leading the GGEC to call the protest on Saturday". Campaigners said they would call for the following on Saturday: An immediate ceasefire and the entry of UN food and medical aid; An end to UK military involvement; An end to Israel's systematic and targeted campaign of ethnic cleansing; The Scottish Government to support the South African case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN's top court. In a post on social media, the Edinburgh GGEC branch called on people to support the protest later this month. The group said: "Join us for the national demonstration on July 19. Mobilise as many individuals, communities, and organisations as possible, and collaborate across Scotland for a massive turnout of Scottish civil society. "Now is the time for us to show our governments we oppose genocide and refuse to allow them to continue their complicity without opposition!"
